Fr
Patten compiled two albums of his photographs recording the building of
the Shrine church - he called this album "The Shrine Extention 1937
No. 1" and the next was "No 2";
his other unusual spelling was in "purgola". The photographs
date from February to May 8th, and the captions given here are exactly
as written by Fr Patten - he frequently used compass points in his descriptions
and differentiated the true and liturgial directions by using quotation
marks or the word 'strictly'. The photographs are mostly of the standard
size at the time - 4x2.5 inches (10.5x6 cms). They are in reasonable condition
for their age, and have now been enhanced as fully as possible. |
As
with the Holy House in 1931, Fr Patten must have carried a vision of the
completed church in his mind which he could see clearly when only foundations
were visible to others. |
